Exciting music journey
In the past, I wrote songs about certain people in my life without fully grasping the depth of self-expression. Even now, I'm still navigating this journey, learning as I go. However, marrying my wife brought forth a unique challenge—I carried with me a sense of shame, a reluctance to fully unveil my artistic self before her. This hesitation stemmed from past baggage, but thankfully, her unwavering support has been a guiding light.
The year 2023 marked a significant turning point in my life. Amidst various life changes, I found myself returning to songwriting after a prolonged hiatus. "Amanda" became a pivotal piece in this resurgence, a playful yet heartfelt ode to my wife. With lyrics like "Coffee in the morning with you, Taco Bell break I love that too," the song effortlessly captures the quirks of our everyday life. It's a reflection of the genuine connection we share, sprinkled with moments that bring laughter to our days.
Of course, not every lyric receives unanimous approval. Our daughter, for one, finds the line "Amanda, let me swim in the sea of your body" a tad peculiar. Yet, it's these moments of lighthearted teasing that remind us of the bond we cherish. Our age difference, too, has enriched our relationship in unexpected ways. With her wealth of experience, my wife often serves as a beacon of wisdom, offering guidance when I stumble. In "Amanda," I aptly describe her influence as "Bringing answers to guide me like angel's oracles," a testament to the invaluable support she provides.
In rediscovering songwriting, I've found more than just a creative outlet—I've unearthed a means of authentic self-expression. Each lyric, each melody serves as a testament to the love, laughter, and shared moments that define our relationship. Through music, I continue to explore the depths of emotion, finding solace and joy in the process.
